Chapter 131: A Female Witch Who is a First-Class Apprentice in Herbology

In the small reception room on the first floor of St. Peter's Castle, Sunan looked at the businessman in front of him who claimed to be from the Attica Peninsula.

This is a middle-aged man with a weathered look on his face. He is obviously one of the countless businessmen who travel far and wide in this era.

His identity as a businessman should be real.

The Attica Peninsula is one of the two most important peninsulas in the southern part of the Kingdom of Storms, along with the Achaean Peninsula.

Sunan asked him. "What's your name? You said before that you ran into a witch's coven. Assuming this is true, then I want to ask you, how did you escape from the witch's coven?"

"Those witches didn't find you. What method did you use to prevent them from finding you?"

"Merchant, don't be afraid. Even if the words are a little exaggerated, as long as you can provide me with useful information, I will give you an equal reward, and you are welcome to come again next time."

Lionel, a merchant from the Attica Peninsula, looked at Sunan with some fear. As an ordinary businessman, he would feel very pressured when facing the Knight Lord.

What's more, Su Nan has a unique temperament and his bright eyes seem to be able to see through everything and see him clearly from beginning to end.

The exaggerated words he had prepared at the beginning were forced to be swallowed back under Su Nan's gaze as soon as they reached his lips.

He decided to tell the truth.

Merchant Lionel stood up, performed the etiquette of meeting a nobleman to Sunan, and then said, "Lord Sunan, I am honored to meet you."

"Everything I say below is true. There is absolutely no falsehood."

"I have actually seen a witch before. The main trade route for my business is to bring grain from the Attica Peninsula to the richest city in Southern Thrace for sale."

"I even met Earl LS a few times because of this."

"But one day, when my caravan was traveling on a deserted path leading to LS, the hoof of one of my pack horses was injured and it was bleeding."

"You know, these horses are the most important assets for us merchants, but we can't wait for the injured horses to recover on the trade route because it is very dangerous in the wild, and the goods we carry must be delivered to the city in LS as soon as possible."

"So I want to take my injured horse to a dense forest where no one is, and then when I come back, I can find the horse again."

Merchant Lionel glanced at Sunan and continued, "That day, I just kept pulling and pulling, deep into a jungle that I had never been to before and that should be sparsely populated. Who knew that day, a storm suddenly broke out, with lightning and thunder in the sky."

"My foot slipped and I fell down with the poor horse. The poor horse died on the spot. I was the only one who was still alive."

"Just when I thought I was going to die, God of Storms... I suddenly heard the voices of a group of women."

Su Nan had become interested and signaled him to continue with his eyes.

Lionel, the businessman, continued: "I thought to myself, this is so strange. In this jungle where there are no people, and it's stormy weather, there are a group of women chatting and laughing above the pit where I fell."

"But then, I was horrified by what they were saying. God of Storms, this was terrifying."

Su Nan sat on a chair in the small reception room, becoming even more curious about his story. "So what did they say?"

Merchant Lionel smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Sunan, they were discussing me. They said that a man and an old horse fell into the pit under their feet. One woman argued that both I and the old horse had died."

"But the other woman said, I still have a breath left."

"They started arguing. Some women thought that I was already dead and only had one breath, so I was not alive."

"The woman who thought I was still alive immediately got angry, and then said that as a first-class wizard apprentice in herbalism, she was best at making healing potions, and she could save me at any time if she wanted to."

"She could use the three plants next to the pit to immediately prepare a herb that could save me." "The other women were laughing at her, so she made a bottle of herb on the spot, but she suddenly told me, who was waiting to die in the pit, that she was a witch who only cared about her own benefit and would not help me like this."

"Because I can't pay enough."

"So she made this bottle of herbs just to prove her ability. She will put the herbs next to the pit, but she will never give them to me."

Merchant Lionel recalled: "But when the women saw the herbs she made, they stopped laughing and started praising her for her herbal preparation skills."

"Then, they seemed to have some transactions. They seemed to trade next to the dirt pit on the last day of every month."

"There are more or less people coming every month, but they said that it is a very famous place for transactions called the [Petrified Witch Coven], so many wizard apprentices hiding in the mortal world will go there."

"They traded a lot of stuff, but I can't even remember the names of those things. Some of them... some of them even give me a headache just thinking about them."

Sunan's eyes turned serious.

Some of the wizard's things radiate mental power. For people with low mental power, just the memory will cause a physical burden on him, so his body will deliberately forget.

Since the businessman in front of him even mentioned this, it proved that he might have really encountered this witch coven.

Sunan didn't expect that the wizard he had been looking for for such a long time actually found a wizard gathering held once a month in the Nanselei Military District where wizards trade magical resources.

But this is normal.

Many things are actually hidden. It’s not that they don’t exist, but that you can’t find them or see them.

As long as you have enough strength, these things will automatically come into your sight sooner or later.

Merchant Lionel covered his head and said to Sunan, "I also heard that there was an old witch among them who looked very powerful. She talked about the origin of this gathering."

"It seems that the petrified witch who presided over this gathering is a half-step official wizard. She used a special thing a long time ago to turn herself into a real stone and buried herself in that pit. But when the tide comes, she will activate something to turn herself from stone back into a human."

"I was able to survive because the storm that day was so severe and I was very lucky. Not long after the witches finished their transaction and left, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck and cracked the bottle of potion next to the pit."

"Then, the broken potion flowed into the pit along with the storm water. I just drank a few sips of the herbal potion mixed with muddy water, and I suddenly felt that I had strength, and then I climbed out of the pit, and the wound stopped bleeding."

"Although my fractures and wounds haven't healed yet, this is enough for me to find my caravan and then go to the city in LS with all my strength to find a doctor to treat my injuries."

"That's all I know, Lord Sunan."

"There are some terms that I don't understand at all, I just force myself to memorize them."

"I tried to tell a lot of people about this, but they all thought I was crazy. Some even tried to report me to the church."

“Then I kept it deep in my heart.”

"Until I met you."

Merchant Lionel said cautiously, "Lord Sunan, how much do you think this information is worth?"

Sunan fell into deep thought. So that's what it is.

From this story, Sunan understood that the petrified witch was the core organizer of this witch gathering.

This witches' coven was probably an organization she created to trade magical resources.
